Over the years I have purchased 10 of these window boxes, and all of them are still in use. I especially love them for our weekend house, where they have gone for as long as 10 days in the hot summer without being watered. The water indicators are somewhat fragile and usually don't last more than a year, but I find they really aren't necessary anyway. When the reservoir is full, water drips out the bottom.

Once this planter is filled with lightweight container mix and plants, all I have to do it watch the water indicator to know when to fill the reservoir.I finally have successful window boxes because these are so well designed.

The front of our summer cottage faces east, is right on the lake, and thus the sunlight is intense. Until now, we have never been successful with window box flowers--no matter how often we watered, the plants died. Hung these boxes up the end of May, and the annual flowers are abundant one month later. Blooms are profuse !! We are extremely happy, and will be purchasing more from this company. I used the soil they suggested, and 1 bag was just right for one 31" box.

Replaced old window boxes with these self watering ones and love them. Easy to install,low maintenance and only have to fill about once a week. Purchased container mix and plants thriving. Old ones never looked this good.

We purchased these before for use as window boxes and they needed to be replaced as one of them was broken and the brackets that hold them up were getting rusty. These look great as they are new but I can tell from holding the previous ones we purchased that the quality has gone down somewhat. However, they still fit in so well with our house and I like the new colors.
